Apple became the first company in the world to hit 1 trillion dollars in value Thursday as strong financial results triggered a boost in its share price and pushed it past the landmark.
Earlier today the historic milestone occurred — 42 years after Steves Jobs and Wozniak founded the company — it became the first in history to be worth $1,000,000,000,000.
The biopic for the Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, is so far not lighting up the US Box Office as it had been expected to do.
The biopic, ‘Jobs’, grossed a paltry $7.2m last weekend, keeping it in the lower rungs of the performances of movies over the weekend.
The Steve Jobs movie ‘Steve Jobs’, is mere days away from release.
For the founder of the world’s most valuable company, of course the anticipation would be at killer levels.
There have been plenty of absurd tributes to Steve Jobs. But the most tone-deaf has got to be the one by Wikileaks, which last night tweeted a link to a faked copy of the former Apple CEO’s positive “H.I.V. report.”
RIP, Steve!
We knew something was FISHY about Steve Job’s passing, when his family asked for “privacy” after his death. Now Wikileaks is claiming that they know why. The site says he died of AIDS!!!
Just minutes after news broke that Steve Jobs had died, Wikileaks tweeted a link to “purported Steve Jobs medical records.” The link goes to a torrent file for a couple images of test results from a company called SxCheck which supposedly show Steve Jobs tested positive for HIV in 2004.
They’re obvious fakes—most obviously because SxCheck wasn’t even founded until 2006—and even Wikileaks concludes “the images should not be taken at face value.”
A lot of people thought these were newly leaked. In fact, Wikileaks posted the documents in 2008, and they’ve been fueling conspiracy theories about Apple and Steve Jobs ever since.
Here’s an excerpt from what they reported:
Two photos, purporting to be part of Apple CEO Steven P. Jobs medical file, show a HIV positive status . . .
